<<One Killed, Six Injured in Incidents Involving Police in Baluchistan
A police car ran over four Iranians traveling on two motorcycles in the south-eastern city of Fanuj on the evening of April 25, killing a 16-year-old teenager and seriously injuring three others, human rights activists say. Haalvsh, a group that monitors rights violations in Sistan and Baluchistan province, said that police officers shot at demonstrators who had gathered in the streets after the incident, inflicting injuries to three more people.
The semi-official Fars news agency reported that police shot in the air <because some protesters threw stones and glass> at a police station.
State media quoted local officials as saying that the teenager's death was caused by the collision of two motorcycles. They also reported that two people were injured in the accident. Sistan and Baluchistan's police chief, Ali Rahimi, ordered an investigation into the incident. A large number of military vehicles belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reportedly left the city of Iranshahr for Fanuj after the incident, according to Haalvsh. The Baluch Activists' Campaign identified the teenager killed as Samir Gardhani. It said one of those wounded in the incident is in a coma and another one suffered a broken arm and leg. Tension is running high in Sistan and Baluchistan, home to Iran's Sunni Baluch minority of up to 2 million people.>>

<<HRW: Iranian Children Inflicted <Horrific> Abuses in Protest Crackdown
Over the past seven months, Iranian security forces have <killed, tortured, sexually assaulted and disappeared children> as part of a brutal crackdown on protests and dissent by people demanding fundamental change in the country, Human Rights Watch (HRW) says. The authorities have also arrested and detained minors without notifying their families, sometimes for weeks, and interrogated and prosecuted them in violation of legal safeguards, the New York-based group said on April 25. Judges have barred children's families from hiring lawyers of their choice to defend them, convicted the children on <vague> charges and tried them outside of youth courts, it said. And students released from detention have been barred from returning to school, or the authorities have cut off their families' social welfare, forcing the children to go to work. <Iranian leaders have unleashed their brutal security forces to sexually assault and torture children, and have not spared children from ludicrously unfair trials,> said Tara Sepehri Far, senior Iran researcher at HRW. The watchdog said it had investigated abuses against 11 children between September last year and February 2023, and documented new details about two previously reported cases. It cited a relative of a detained 17-year-old boy as saying that the authorities beat and sexually assaulted him, causing bruises all over his body and bleeding from his anus. A high school student said that security forces pushed her onto a lit gas range during arrest, setting her clothing on fire, and beat and whipped her during interrogation. Interrogators tortured another boy by shoving needles under his nails, while two other under-18s were tortured to provide the whereabouts of family members. A 16-year-old teenager has tried twice to take his own life after being beaten, electroshocked, and sexually assaulted, HRW also said. The group added that the authorities have failed to provide medical treatment to injured children, including a 13-year-old boy whose rib was broken during a beating, and threatened family members to keep quiet about abuses.
....
In one case, a revolutionary court judge, a cleric, sentenced three boys to 25 years in prison, HRW said. The Supreme Court overturned the convic-tions, citing a lack of evidence, and ordered retrials by the same judge, who sentenced the children to 3, 5 and 10 years in prison. HRW quoted an Iranian lawyer as saying that he was aware of 28 children who had been charged with vague crimes that can be punished by death or amputation of the right hand and left foot. <Children who have experienced horrific abuses in detention and at trial risk long-lasting harm,> said Bill Van Esveld, associate children's rights director at HRW. He said the fact-finding mission on Iran that was set up by the UN Human Rights Council <should prioritize investigating these abuses and recommend a path to accountability.> >>

MEMO - Middle East Monitor - April 24, 2023
<<US targets Iran officials for rights violations, censorship
The US Treasury Department, on Monday, imposed sanctions on four senior Iranian law enforcement and military officials involved in crushing protests that erupted last year after an Iranian woman died in the custody of the morality police who enforce strict dress codes, Reuters reports.
The department said in a statement it was also taking action against the new secretary of Iran's Supreme Council of Cyberspace (SCC), the authority responsible for Iran's cyberspace policy and blockage of popular websites. <The Iranian people deserve freedom of expression without the threat of violent retaliation and censorship from those in power,> Brian Nelson, the Department's Under-Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, said in the statement. The Treasury said it was placing sanctions on three senior officials of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC): Parviz Absalan, the Deputy Commander of the IRGC Salman Corps of Sistan and Baluchistan Province; Amanollah Goshtasbi, Deputy Inspector of the IRGC's ground forces and Ahmed Khadem Seyedoshohada, a Brigadier-General in the IRGC's ground forces. It also imposed sanctions on Salman Adinehvand, the Commander of the Tehran Police Relief Unit of Iran's LEF, the primary security organisation in charge of crowd control and protest suppression.
Also targeted was Seyyed Mohammad Amin Aghamiri, the new Secretary of the SCC, the centralised authority regarding policymaking in the realm of cyberspace. The SCC is responsible for Iran's blockage of popular online news and communications platforms and has also used digital technology to spy on and harass journalists and regime dissidents, the Treasury said.>>

<<Kurdish rights activists pressured to make false confessions
Kurdish women's rights activists are under pressure from the Intelligence Department of Sanandaj, the capital of Kurdistan Province. Zhina Moddares Gorji, journalist and women’s rights activist, and Fariba Zand Karimi, a teacher who is also a women's rights activist, are detained in solitary confinement under double pressure to make false confessions against themselves. The two activists from Sanandaj have been deprived of calling their families and having visitations. Zhina Moddares Gorji was violently arrested on April 10, 2023, by agents of the Intelligence Department as she was returning home from her workplace at a bookstore. She had been arrested and detained during the Iran uprising in 2022 but was released on bail after 40 days of detention in the women’s ward of Sanandaj Prison on October 30, 2022. Fariba Zand Karimi, 35, is a contract teacher with the Department of Education and a women's rights activist in Sanandaj. She was arrested at 8 p.m. on April 5, 2023, after being summoned to the Department of Intelligence of Sanandaj, the capital of Kurdistan province in western Iran.>>

<<UK, EU Impose Sanctions on Iranian Telecom Firm, IRGC Commanders over Rights Violations
In a coordinated move, the European Union and the United Kingdom have imposed restrictive measures on additional individuals and an entity responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran, including a mobile service provider and commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The European Council said in a statement on April 24 it had decided to impose sanctions on eight individuals and Ariantel, an Iranian mobile service provider which contributed to the telecommunications surveillance architecture mapped out by the Iranian government to quash dissent. Meanwhile, the UK government imposed sanctions on four commanders, <under whose leadership IRGC forces have opened fire on unarmed protestors resulting in numerous deaths, including of children, and have arbitrarily detained and tortured protestors,> it said in a statement. Those targeted include Mohammad Azimi, an IRGC commander responsible for the repression of protests in Kermanshah province, Habib Shahsavari, a commander in Mahabad and Piranshahr, and Mohsen Karimi, who is held responsible for the crackdown on demonstrations in Markazi province, including beating to death of a 19-year-old protester in a detention center. Ahmad Kadem was responsible for repression in the town of Izeh, Khuzestan province, during which a nine-year-old child was shot and killed. <The Iranian regime are responsible for the brutal repression of the Iranian people and for exporting bloodshed around the world,> Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said. He added that the UK and its international partners <are again making clear today that we will not overlook the regime's brutal oppression. We will continue to take a range of action to hold the regime to account for its actions.> >>
